Despite the ongoing controversy in Season 1, Diablo 4 Varshan boss is back. To summon Echo of Varshan, players need to collect his Malignant Body Parts and throw them into a special altar. Like Grigoire, Echo of Varshan is one of the first bosses you can fight on Nightmare World difficulty, especially since his materials are easy to collect.
However, as Varshan’s Torment mode also drops Mucus-Slick Eggs, a necessary material for summoning Duriel. So fighting this boss early and using up what you’ve collected might be a bit of a waste. Therefore, you need to plan your battle route to avoid wasting Diablo 4 Gold.
Below, we’ll tell you more about Malignant Body Parts, how to get them, and how to use them.
Where To Find Malignant Body Parts?
Unlike other bosses like Beast in the Ice, there are actually a few different ways to get Malignant Body Parts needed to summon Echo of Varshan.
Complete Whispers Of The Dead
After completing Whispers of the Dead in World Tier 3 and World Tier 4, you will receive a cache. It contains guaranteed Malignant Body Parts, including Gurgling Head, Trembling Hand, Blackened Femur, and Malignant Heart.
After completing the campaign, you can unlock this Tree of Whispers and complete the mission easily. Meanwhile, you can also take part in events such as Helltide or Blood Harvest to collect Body Parts. This is the most efficient way to farm these materials since we can fetch multiple of them from a single cache.
However, it is important to note that you cannot get Malignant Heart if you only play in World Tier 3. It will only start dropping when you reach World Tier 4. Because it is a requirement for summoning Echo of Varshan in World Tier 4.
Kill Grotesque Debtors
Killing Grotesque Debtors will definitely result in Malignant Body Parts. You can easily find them in areas with Grim Favor rewards and areas with Blood Harvest events. This means you can fight these elite enemies while completing Whispers of the Dead missions.
Transfers To Your Stash
If you miss Malignant Body Parts drop, it will automatically be transferred to your stash. Therefore, be sure to check “Missed Equipment” tab in your Stash regularly.
Transmute Malignant Body Parts
Malignant Hearts are one material required to summon Varshan, but you can also convert them into any of the other three materials at Alchemist. By the same token, if you have duplicates of the items you need, you can also use the other three parts to make Malignant Body Caches, which will provide random materials.
Of these, the rarest material appears to be Malignant Heart, which is usually dropped from Grotesque Debtors enemies that appear after defeating World Boss.
How To Use Malignant Body Parts?
Malignant Body Parts can be used to summon Varshan within Malignant Burrow. The cave is located in Writhing Mire Map next to Tree of Whispers in Hawezar region. Note that Malignant Heart is only required when summoning Varshan in World Tier 4.
Although you can only fight Varshan in Nightmare or Torment World Tier, he is the only boss whose summoning cost does not increase when you move between them.
The major difference between World Tiers is that if you fight Varshan in Torment, Varshan will also drop Mucus-Slick Eggs.
How To Summon Varshan?
To successfully summon Varshan, Malignant Body Parts you need include:
- One Gurgling Head
- One Blackened Femur
- One Trembling Hand
- One Malignant Heart
Varshan is the most approachable boss. You just need to go to Malignant Burrow next to Tree of Whispers and go through a few corridors to find the arena and Malignant Altar. Deposit materials to activate the boss.
If you play the game in Season of the Malignant, Varshan hasn’t changed much. The main thing you need to pay attention to is his delayed AOE attack.
He will light up the arena floor red before exploding. However, you can avoid these entirely if you’re standing on the far left or right side of the arena when he starts casting. He will also periodically summon some elites, but these are easy to deal with, as Varshan will temporarily stop attacking.
The above is the best way to collect Malignant Body Parts and summon Varshan. Hope this guide is helpful.
